Christmas Letter

We have begun receiving Christmas cards and there are always a couple of people who include a Christmas letter. We have never sent one out, although there is a part of me that would like to let people know about our lives, our accomplishments, but it's just not my style. Some letters are too boasting. Not that they shouldn't be proud, but not everyone needs to know. One letter in particular my husband pointed out that while many hobbies were listed for the wife, the husband's description consisted of "husband is still at same job and travels". Started me thinking. How sad. How sad that so many people are defined and limited by work. Obviously he's a good dad and husband, but shouldn't there be more? I know it's got to be hard to find "your thing" and make time for it, but shouldn't you? I mean the same thing can be said for stay at home moms too. Wouldn't you want your Christmas letter to have more? If I write one in my head, I certainly want it to say more than Corey works and Beth continues to stay home. Bleh. I'd want mine to include all kinds of adventures, accomplishments, fun family times, and proud notables about my kids. I am already thinking about how to make the most of 2010 so that if we had a letter, it would include more...
